Rules and play
L.A. Times Daily Crossword Game Rules
Fill every answer so that it matches its clue and crosses consistently with the perpendicular entries. Select a clue or cell, type the letters, and use the completed intersections to test uncertain answers. The official FAQ describes the daily puzzle as free to play; the grid itself determines whether an answer is correct through its crossings and completion state.
- Across and down answers must agree at every crossing.
- Select a clue or grid square to begin entering letters.
- A finished puzzle requires the complete grid, not one isolated answer.
- A new daily puzzle is published on the L.A. Times schedule.
